首先感謝包老師@包達quinnbao 熬禿頭受大罪傾情製作的伴奏，連口哨都包圓了，不愧是「包」老師！做完之後他進入了看戲模式，因為這首曲子真正的折磨對我來說剛剛開始……

 自從決定下手小p這首神曲，我的每天就是：
早起舔原作--帥啊Tim！帥啊Scott！優雅！太優雅了！ 白天找翻奏--強啊這個指彈老師！強啊這個琵琶老師！ 晚上自己扒譜-- 救命啊！這個曲子要創死我！ 

但是開工沒有回頭箭，尤其是包老師伴奏已經做出來了……那就衝！扒完intro我還躊躇滿志，畢竟吾有上將43弦多聲箏。到了A段開始傻眼，進入Bossa滿目瘡痍，到了尾段徹底瘋狂！！這是什麼神仙寫出來的和弦？？敦煌爸爸我需要一台十二平均律的古箏謝謝……都說隔行如隔山，就算我把所有的音都調出來，吉他一個掃弦的音域跨度在這個更寬更大的琴上是無法實現的。所以適當的還是做了很多簡化，個別和弦五個音只保留了倆，大家湊合聽hhhhh～_(:з」∠)_ 這個曲子里的技巧滿天飛就不做贅述，再來說這個新到手的多聲箏。變得更寬更薄並去掉頭尾之後音色和傳統箏確實還是有區別，對於可以中途換區域演奏的曲子（比如這次），是很便利的。但是兩邊隔得又挺遠不能同時彈，在涉及高音的快速樂段左邊18弦的小箏其實用不上。這種情況就還是雙箏竪著擺比較實用。而且由於特殊定弦，左邊的弦已經非常軟了，剛好用在bossa那一段模仿一下古典吉他屁響屁響的感覺（對不起……(ಡωಡ)

 機緣巧合天時地利，終於翻奏了Polyphia，也算完成了一樁心願！以後也會繼續探索～請大家多多指教！

Weirdly enough, I think the Guzheng lends itself well to this style of play. Tim Henson uses a style that has a lot of polyphonic layering, and that's very difficult on a guitar. However, an instrument inherently built for polyphonic rhythms might have an easier time replicating that style than other instruments out there. That being said, its still very difficult to pull this off, and it was amazing to watch.

If you are speechless watching this video, conventionally played with background track, wait till you see her CLEAN covers of AC/DC's Thunderstruck (1.7 million views, where she is the one-girl band, playing everything - guitar, bass, vocal AND percussion for god's sake!!! simultaneously and unconventionally SOLO, on 1 guzheng, without distraction of cool background. You can tell that she is having a grand time, with the attitude that she doesn't give a f*** what others think or say: mask or not. This genius showcased her highest musicality and BADASSERY in its purest form. I was actually laughing the whole time in utter disbelief), and my favorite - Chinese song Quan Yu Tian Xia (with a whopping 22 million views on a different channel, on here it's 2.2 million).

If I didn't know any better I'd assume this was composed for this instrument. What a wildly impressive cover.

Amazing playing ... wonderful Instrument.

This was without a doubt one of the coolest things I've seen in the past few months. Thank you!

This sounds so good it’s almost as good as the original, never seen a cover this technically well played in any instrument

Easily the best Polyphia cover I've ever heard. That is so spot on and unique

Agree 👍

Goosebumps from the start to end. What an amazing cover

Amazingly accurate, and with some unique flare as well. Beautiful translation of an amazing piece. This was a joy to listen to!

I don't know much about the 43 string polyphonic zither but clearly it is a difficult instrument to play and then you chose one of the hardest 4 min songs to play. It sounded brilliant. Well done.

from her pinned comment it was so difficult that she had the instrument redesigned: bring strings closer, make them longer, and completely change native tuning to 12-tone equal temperament to pull this off

@@LogioTek Yes, it looked strange for a guzheng, so that made sense!

I can clearly understand someone's a pro at their instrument, when i see something like this. Unbelievable job, thank you so much!

Absolutely amazing... I am blown away by this performance!

I love watching the way you hit the harmonics on the guzheng! I never realized you could do that. Excellent cover, amazing talent, hope Polyphia reacts!

This is absolutely bananas to watch and listen to. I think this is the coolest instrumental performance I've ever witnessed.

@@BleachCowboy2016 Tim Henson is brilliant. My middle son looks identical to him minus the tats( which look cool ). The guzheng instrument this lady is playing is difficult to play at the best of times.I also think she did an amazing job🍻

What an absolutely beautiful rendition. Your love and passion for your instrument comes through loud and clear. 👏

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!! GORGEOUS!! seriously, what a lovely translation of this song onto this instrument, it sounds so wonderful

My goodness… the translation from the guitar to this instrument HAS to be even more difficult to perform than we know !!! Everything about this production is world class. I thank you for the wonderful art and out of this world performance!!🙏🙏🙏

What a gorgeous instrument expertly played. Hitting harmonics on a Guzheng, I love the internet. 10/10.

Mind-blowing. The most amazing cover of any kind I've watched on KZread

This is absolutely incredible!! Perfect! 🖤

This is genuinely insane.... Im flabbergasted by this performance

One of the coolest covers of this song so far. So brilliant.

i have goosebumps.. this is literally my new favorite cover of playing god…..

the guzheng really captures the essence of playing god very well! I actually think it sounds a bit better. the deep tone helps a lot

This is incredible. The rhythm is so good, it sounds beautiful. So glad to have musicians like you showing us what kinds of amazing things are possible when you work hard at your craft

This is such an incredible interpretation of the song. Can't wait to see the Polyphia reaction!

It is so satisfying hearing every note so perfectly articulated, what an incredible display of execution

It looks like you're having so much fun! What an incredible cover. You did such an amazing job of capturing the essence of Polyphia's structure and style.

The only thing I can think of while playing polyphia songs is "Don't mess it up, Don't mess it UP" Internal screaming with no facial expressions

I can't express how much I loved this! Amazing!

Best cover I've heard! that was simply amazing to listen to!

it’s crazy to me that she literally made her own guzheng to play this song. that’s skill and knowledge and most of all dedication.

​@NickYeti There's not enough craftmanship to built an entire Guzheng by herself. But it does say thgat she bought the custom-built Guzheng from the maker (which is the Dunhuang brand Guzheng instrument apparel, seen on the left side of the Guzheng "敦煌")
